Hama april 2009 8356.jpg

These pictures I took during a stroll to a part more to the East than what I'd call the older part of town. Some very modern mosque, apartment buildings, then back to the Orontes river, some views there and, crossing it, part of a park surrounding a couple of noria (waterwheels) in an area that was under development and will probably be turned into the heart of the tourist area with fountains, tea gardens and restaurants facing the river.
